Conducted in the context of ongoing excavations and surveys at the third cataract, ceramic characterization can be used to explore the dynamic role pottery production may have played in Egyptian efforts to integrate with or alter native Nubian culture. Results reveal that, despite overall similar geochemistry, x-ray fluorescence (XRF), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), and petrography can dis - tinguish Egyptian and Nubian-

    The Stela of the Viceroy Usersatet (Boston MFA 25.632), his Shrine at Qasr Ibrim, and the Festival of Nubian Tribute under Amenhotep II John Coleman Darnell Yale University N SPITE OF the surviving epigraphic and archaeological evidence concerning the Egyptian administration of Nubia during the New Kingdom, the personal aspects of colonial rule I are at best shadows behind the more prosaic evidence of prosopography and titles, architectural history and burial practices, that force etic analysis to march ahead of emic understanding of Egyptian and Nubian interactions.1 When any archaeological or epigraphic light shines on personal relationships within the administration, at least suggesting, if not revealing, the attitudes of various members of the colonial administration, and hinting at interactions between social strata in Nubia and Egypt, those who would understand Egyptian and Nubian culture may be expected to show interest. The stela of the Viceroy Usersatet from Semna,2 recording Amenhotep II’s personal transcription of his own royal decree to Usersatet, offering advice regarding interactions of Egyptians and Nubians within the viceregal administration, indeed casts some light on the interactions of king, viceroy, and Nubian members of the Egyptian bureaucracy in the south [fig. 1]. The seeming obscurity of the king’s advice, and the lack of transparency regarding the situation about which Amenhotep II offers that advice, have resulted in considerable modern attention to the text, but a certain looseness of interpretation has bedeviled many examinations of the inscription. Defining exactly what the Usersatet stela illuminates has proved to be elusive. Several Egyptological discussions of the inscription have fostered florid descriptions of the personality and character of Amenhotep II, in spite of the remaining uncertainties in properly 1 So S.T.

In September-December of 2015, the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums (NCAM) of the Sudanese Ministry of Tourism, Antiquities and Wildlife, National Commission for Education, Science and Culture, and UNESCO Khartoum office organized a set of expert consultations to review the Sudanese list of monuments, buildings, archaeological places, and other landmarks with outstanding cultural value, which the country recognizes as of being on a level of requirements of the World Heritage Center of UNESCO (WHC). Due to this effort the list of Sudanese Heritage had been extended by four items, and, together with two already nominated as World Heritage Sites (Jebel Barkal and Meroe Island), it currently consists of nine items. This booklet contains short descriptions of theses “official” Sudanese Heritage Sites, complemented by an overview of the Sudanese History. The majority of the text was compiled by Dr. Abdelrahman Ali Mohamed, the General Director of the NCAM.

  • Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections 17 (March 2018)
    Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections POWER RELATIONS AND THE ADOPTION OF FOREIGN MATERIAL CULTURE: A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM FIRST-MILLENNIUM BCE NUBIA Kathryn Howley Christ’s College, University of Cambridge ABSTRACT Questions of power relations have long been central to archaeological study of culture contact, with colonial relationships exciting particular interest. However, current frameworks do not account for the adoption of foreign material culture by cultures that are politically stronger than those from which they adopt. The wide variety of Egyptian material culture forms on display at first millennium BCE royal sites in Nubia such as the cemeteries of el-Kurru and Nuri is one such example of non-colonial cultural interaction which is not adequately explained by the postcolonial theories currently popular. This paper argues that the Kushite royal adoption of Egyptian forms was not based in concerns of ethnic identity or subaltern resistance, but instead reflected native Kushite state structures and value systems. It argues that theories of state structure and economy, including prestige goods economies, are more useful for understanding the nature of culture contact in non-colonial situations. ultural encounter and group identity (especially the normal power relations between Egypt and Cethnic identity) have been two of the most Nubia had been reversed, I will examine how prominent areas of enquiry in anthropological theories of cultural encounter and group identity can archaeology over the last few decades.

    Virtual Lecture Transcript: "Backwater Puritans?" Racism, Egyptological Stereotypes, and the Intersection of Local and International at Kushite Tombos By Stuart Tyson Smith Saturday, March 20, 2021 Liska Radachi: Hello, everyone, and good afternoon, good evening or good morning depending on where you are joining us from. I'm Liska Radachi. I'm the US director at ARCE and I want to welcome you to the final in our four-part series, Africa Interconnected Ancient Egypt, and Nubia. So, this virtual lecture series has delved into the history and interconnections of ancient Egypt and Nubia, the study of which has been largely marginalized by Western scholarship. And this series has addressed the biases behind this lack of attention and examine how Egyptology, Nubiology and other disciplines have intersected. And today's lecture with Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith, is titled Backwater Puritans, racism, Egyptological stereotypes, and the intersection of local and international at Kushite Tombos. So, before I introduce Dr. Tyson Smith, for those of you who are new to ARCE, we're a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to support research on all aspects of Egyptian history and culture, foster a broader knowledge about Egypt among the general public, and support American Egyptian cultural ties. And as a nonprofit, we rely on our ARCE members to support our work. So, I first want to give a special welcome and hello to all of our ARCE members joining us today. And if you're not already a member and are interested in joining, and by either visit our website arce.org to join online and learn more.

This expedition has been specially designed for CWRU and will be led by none other than our own Dr. Meghan Strong, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Classics and Research Associate at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Dr. Strong has deep ties with this region where she is also the Assistant Director at Nuri, a vast royal Nubian necropolis that is currently under excavation. The trip route will follow the Nile River, the heartbeat of this arid region delving deep into the history of the ancient Nubian kingdoms that were once part of a thriving trade route for centuries influencing the religion, language and culture seen today. During this expedition you will visit archaeological sites arely visited by tourists– pyramids and burial grounds at El-Kurru, Nuri and Meroe, Old Dongola where Coptic churches once stood, and Kerma which was once the capital of the Kingdom of Kush. Celebrate the arrival of new year under the starry desert skies with us.
